Everyone recognizes that there is a spiritual aspect to a good number of the Moody Blues songs once Lodge and Hayward came onboard. This song is one of those. It's all about conversion to a religion or spirituality that embraces love, a religion or spirituality that will come "sooner or later," perhaps after one's soul moves out of this life and into whatever is beyond (walkin' on air). So, in this life, "swim with the life tide"; "roll with the punches"; "have no fear of darkness"; "live for the moment 'cause life is work living." "Love will surround you" and "you'll be walkin' on air."
